19th Arrondisement Network
The 19th Arrondissement Network was a group of militant French Muslims who were tried and convicted of recruiting approximately a dozen Frenchmen to fight for insurgent forces in the Iraq War. The group is referred to by this name since a large portion of its members were from this neighborhood of Paris.
The leader of the group, Farid Benyettou, was arrested in January 2005, ending the group's operations. Benyettou was a self-taught preacher of the Salafist branch.
